UniProtKB description:  Mannose-binding lectin (PubMed:9111143, PubMed:18266762, PubMed:14561768, PubMed:26971576, PubMed:28973127). Preferentially binds mannose at concentrations ranging between 5 and 25 mM, but binds also glucose. Has a marked preference for methylated sugar derivatives, such as alpha-MeMan and alpha-MeGlc, at concentration down to 5 mM (PubMed:14561768). Binds to N-glycans, but not to glycolipid-type or other type of glycans (PubMed:28973127). Binds N-linked high-mannose-type glycans (PubMed:18266762, PubMed:28973127). Has a preference for smaller (Man(2)-Man(6)) high-mannose-type glycans to larger (Man(7)-Man(9)) ones. Recognizes both alpha1-6 extended and alpha1-3 extended monoantennary glycans. The addition of alpha1-2Man to the Man-alpha1-3Man-beta branch results in a significant loss of affinity, but beta1-2GlcNAc has some affinity. Has less affinity for biantennary glycans (PubMed:18266762). However, affinity is significant for the biantennary complex-type N-glycans with bisecting GlcNAc (PubMed:18266762, PubMed:26971576, PubMed:28973127). No affinity is observed for tri- and tetra-antennary glycans (PubMed:18266762). Binds bisected glycans of the mouse brain. Selectively binds to bisecting N-glycans which are in back-fold conformation, and does not favor a glycan with an extend conformation (PubMed:26971576). Has hemagglutinating activity against rabbit erythrocytes at 0.3 ug/ml and against trypsin-treated human erythrocytes at 5 ug/ml. Has mitogenic activity in murine cells (PubMed:9111143).
